General Information
Product Description
The Preva Dental X-Ray System is a state-of-the-art, high-frequency intra-oral x-ray
machine. The Preva consists of five components, as shown in Figure 1: the Control
Unit, the Tubehead, the Articulating Arm, the Horizontal Arm, the Cone, and the
Remote Control option.
Control Unit
The Control Unit provides for the input power connection and control of the Tubehead
and Operator Panel. It provides automatic line voltage compensation, kVp control and
exposure time control. The Control Unit consists of the mounting base and Operator
Panel.
Tubehead
The Tubehead contains the x-ray tube, high voltage circuit, and Cone. The Tubehead
is shipped already assembled to the Articulating Arm.
Note: There is a small hole in the plastic handle covering the back of the
Tubehead. Under no circumstances should this hole be blocked as it provides an
air vent to allow the Tubehead oil to expand and contract as the unit is operated.
Articulating
Arm
The Articulating Arm provides the articulation support for the Tubehead and the reach
and coverage of the Tubehead to the patient. The Articulating Arm allows smooth
movement for precise positioning and does not drift or vibrate when left in position.
Horizontal
Arm
The Horizontal Arm helps provide the necessary reach for the Preva. The Horizontal
Arm pivots smoothly around a shaft inserted in the top of the Control Unit. The
Horizontal Arm contains an access cover to connect the cable from the Horizontal
Arm to the Control Unit. The Horizontal Arm is available in three lengths, providing
reaches of 56, 66 and 76 inches.
Cone
The Cone establishes the distance from the x-ray tube to the patient’s skin. It
provides positioning assistance and collimates the x-ray beam to within a defined
circle at its end. The Preva is shipped with the standard 8 inch Cone attached to the
Tubehead. A 12 inch Cone (30-A2033) can be ordered as an option.
Remote
Control
An optional component, the remote control switch is used to make exposures in
addition to or replacing the use of the exposure button.
Installation
and Service
The Preva Dental X-Ray System should only be installed and serviced by approved
Progeny dealer personnel. Contact Progeny at (888) 924-3800 if you need assistance
locating an approved dealer.
